  • R and R.
Day's Verdict: Nothing of interest happened.

-----

6th Dec
  • Amazing thunderstorm crawled over Perth, with as much vicious force as the apocalypse, giant flashes of lightning would rip through my blinds, instantly waking me up. I'd run to the window to watch these low lying murky clouds carrying hell towards me, as lashings of golf ball sized rain drops pelt the roof, I spent the next 45 minutes (was about 3AM) being awed by nature.
Day's Verdict: BOOM!

10th Dec
  • Paddleboarding! First time I've been paddleboard since Vancouver and I'd missed it a lot.
  • In Perth paddleboarding is different, Instead of sea, you have a river. Instead of seals you have fish. Instead of boats, you have windsurfers. Instead of mountains you have open sky. Instead of a high concentration of a 100 or so skyscrapers, you have 3... very far away.
  • Evening brought a christmas houseparty, typical affair of drinking, chatting, kitchen mingling, drinking, yada, yada, yada.
Day's Verdict: Great then good.

-----

11th Dec
  • Cleaned the entire house after the party and went out Christmas shopping
Day's Verdict: Standard

  • Take away from Zambrero, an amazing Mexican restaurant, it's not authentic but it's fresh, healthy and... fucking tasty. Every one of their burritos gets better than the last and I could quite happily give up on all other foods if I could have one of these every day, forever.
Day's Verdict: Awesome.
